[unkempt lake]

I may forget some people

[ashen spindle]

at least you made an attempt then

[unkempt lake]

Not everyone's gonna see it

[ashen spindle]

and thats fine

nobody says linus has to email every person that saw the video

but people say he should have done ANYTHING

[unkempt lake]

There's also the legal liability involved

[ashen spindle]

instead of NOTHING

no there isnt

[unkempt lake]

What if I don't want said company to come after me and say i'm difaming them

[crimson wigeon]

True, we don't know what the sponsorship contract looked like

[unkempt lake]

People have been sued for leaving bad reviews on google pages of businesses before

[ashen spindle]

then you shouldn't be a influencer and never run ad spots if you never tell your viewers something bad if you know about it and mislead them

ffs LTT wouldnt care about honey suing them when they are aware of whats happening

[fair gull]

ok lets say this happened in your firned circle. and you recommended smth to lets say 20 people you know. then that thing turns out shit. and 1 friend asks you what happened to that thing/place and you say oh it sucked. you then put a sticky note up at your fridge that all those 20 people COULD walk past but prob wont. then the 19 other people later find out from total stranger that the thing you recommend actually sucks. those 19 people get mad at you cause you didnt tell them. you then say should have read the sticky note on my fridge

[ashen spindle]

in certain positions, like an influencer you have a certain amount of responsibility and if you dont take are of that people are correctly mad about it

[fair gull]

no (thank shopify for that one)

[green lark]

i know this isnt the support channel but does anyone nkow what it means when it says my order is pending because it wont let me cancel them

[ashen spindle]

I told you make a post in #1019755933959733258

[fair gull]

it means its pending and again ask via the wizard. the discord isnt for order support

[fair gull]

actually order support doesnt happen in this discord at all

[green lark]

i dont know how

[unkempt lake]

I mean technically you tried, you just didn't put much effort into it

[fair gull]

then go to #general and ask there

[unkempt lake]

Saying it's malice is something else tho

[green lark]

ok

[fair gull]

no thats you being an asshole to anyone in that scenario

thats not trying

thats doing basically nothing

[unkempt lake]

But the big thing is

Is it malice or stupidity/laziness

[ashen spindle]

doesnt matter?

[gentle osprey]

could be both for all that matters

[unkempt lake]

There's a difference between being just an idiot and being malicious

[fair gull]

no?

both scenarios people have every right to be angry at LTT for not being responsible

[ashen spindle]

it doesnt matter why you arent taking responsibility, you're not taking responsibility

and then after being called out he makes excuses

[gentle osprey]

^

[lyric hatch]

I still think it makes sense to reach out for comment though like they do with every other expose type video

[ashen spindle]

so at that point there was a point of "yup we fucked up" if that was teh case

[ashen spindle]

sure, that would be doing something at leat and not nothing

[unkempt lake]

If i hit you in the face accidentally and you die then why do i get a lesser sentence than if I bash your head in meaningfully with a hammer

[ashen spindle]

its not a legal situation

[fair gull]

lol

[unkempt lake]

Intent matters I think

[fair gull]

must have missed the lawsuite against LTT for this

[ashen spindle]

in either case you are being punished and thats the point here too

if linus was saying fuck, you caught me, I'm using honey to steal money, people would be even more mad yes

so that would be death sentence in your assault lawsuit example

[lyric hatch]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvvq2wYubEU&t=229s&pp=2AHlAZACAQ%3D%3D
People did know I guess just not enough people cared

[unkempt lake]

If someone hurts me because of them being an idiot i'll be much more lenient on them and may even forgive them even if i was hurt. Where as if they were being malicious I wouldn't

[ashen spindle]

saw that, thats only showing the referal part iirc

[fair gull]

exactly why LTT making a simple statement would have been nice

roughly 1-2M views per video can make much more of an impact

[ashen spindle]

but ltt basically admitted to knowing about it and not wanting to say something

[fair gull]

the fact remains they hurt you. the fact remains LTT wasnt responsible.

again being an idiot or malicious doesnt matter

[ashen spindle]

all these example you bring just arent fitting to the ltt situation

[unkempt lake]

I just don't think it's up to ltt to babysit every other content creator's honey dealings

[lyric hatch]

Yeah linus said the reasoning was he thought there would be backlash given his success that something that saved others money was bad because he didn't make the money

[fair gull]

again they just needed to make a statement of why they stopped their honey sponsorship with what they knew

no one is saying they should investigate or babysit anyone

[fair gull]

from what i recall LTT also knew honey steals the affiliate if they didnt find a code so imo thats a week argument

[unkempt lake]

I'm curious

Does anyone here ever use affiliate links

Or affiliate coupons

On purpose

[fair gull]

i do for certain channels

[ashen spindle]

if I buy something on amazon anyway yes

might as well use the code for a chanel since I use adblock everywhere lol

[fair gull]

affiliate links dont cost me anything and i can support a creator that introduced me to smth i want

[unkempt lake]

I don't remember ever using

An affiliate link on purpose

Ever

I've used coupons if they happenned to be better than another coupon but i'll just take whatever makes the product cheaper for me

[lyric hatch]

I guess so, they did post about it on their public forum but it wasn't publicized beyond that

[umbral heron]

He could say that it impacts all creators and give you worse deals that ones you could find by yourself
I don't think there would be any problem with that then

[unkempt lake]

Also never bothered supporting an influencer out there

[ashen spindle]

the bad image could so easily be avoided by just featuring one smaller channel you talk to and have them talk about it or something, and that is when t

[fair gull]

i dont think LTT knew about the deal limit thing

[unkempt lake]

Always felt odd about "support the inflencer"

[fair gull]

they knew it steals the affiliate though no matter if it finds a coupon or not

[ashen spindle]

and if they didnt know about the rest, then you can still say "hey I never cared about the money but now we found out they are basically a mafia so we wanted to let you know"

[lyric hatch]

"We ended the partnership with Honey due to the way their service interacted with affiliate links. Essentially, if someone clicked on a affiliate link (For example, one of ours below in the video description on YouTube), and then if they "use honey" and search for a deal, Honey will override that tracking link even if they don't find you a deal.

That didn't jive with us, so we ended the partnership."

[fair gull]

yeah and even just that in a public video or wan show would have been more than enough to be responsible

[ashen spindle]

yeah it would have been fine if they made a update saying they didnt know more and now that they know more they wanted to make people aware

would have been perfectly fine

but saying you never did anything because you valued your image over helping out consumers in the end, then you just didnt take responsibility for your role

[magic minnow]

I don’t

Not gonna make someone free money

[lyric hatch]

I don't think they knew it was affecting consumers, in fact the clip cuts off in the GN video before Linus says exactly that

[ashen spindle]

yeah thats why I mean it would be fine to point it out after that has been brought to light

like I dont get how the thought wasn't "wait honey is doing what? and we had tons of ad spots for them? someone make a twitter post about it to point it out etc."

[unkempt lake]

Not like influencers care about you anyways

XD

The parasocial shit wierds me out

People really seem to behave like these people are their friends

So is every channel out there

They're companies

Not yoir friends

[lyric hatch]

Tech entertainment channel for sure

[umbral heron]

Sure, he doesn't have to do that
But he shouldn't complain later that he is hated on

[ashen spindle]

they dont have to be your friends for you wanting them to be held accountable

[stuck rampart]

anyway to keep socd on cs2 without being kicked for input automation?

[steady sail]

nope, i mean yeah u can by turning it off

[lyric hatch]

Well same with gamersnexus if they want to be known as journalists they have to actually do things journalists do like reaching out for comment and not just putting out what is basically a hit piece in the middle of an otherwise good video

[ashen spindle]

oh I didnt even watch the gn piece about it

[magic minnow]

I wonder how much the 9950x3d will be

anyone here do coding?

get well soon my man

[trim crane]

i would like to learn

[marsh pewter]

tommyinnit vs dream

[bright briar]

i want to get into it as well. Some people recommend me to get a full size keyboard for the number pad but some say my 80he would be more than enough

just wanted a coder opinion on it

[trim crane]

game first code second, probably 80HE yeah

[umbral heron]

Get 80HE
You'll almost never use numpad for coding

But nav keys are nice to have

[bright briar]

ty for the advice

waiting for that white zinc v2 to come in

[trim crane]

I would really hope they get to cooking up a Wootpad with that true 8K polling for them excel spreadsheet esports :O

[cunning charm]

could just buy a numpad separate

[bright briar]

you probably could

[umbral heron]

Truth is you'll rarely use numpad when coding, maybe only to type some bigger numbers
But on 80HE I just made a numpad on Fn layer for everyday usage, I'm happy with it, that's all

[bright briar]

if its not too much trouble can you post the fn layer?

i would appreciate it a lot

https://tenor.com/view/cute-face-puss-puss-in-boots-the-last-wish-pleasing-face-begging-face-gif-26016683

[bright briar]

thank you

[unkempt lake]

I like my numpad

Fn layer wont do for me

[umbral heron]

Oh, and can highly recommend
Bind Backspace instead of Caps
Took me few days to get used to, but it's oh so worth it

[unkempt lake]

Im just too used to a numpad

Cant break the habit

[scenic thunder]

Data Analyst and 100% the 2he

[bright briar]

because of the numpad?

[scenic thunder]

Yee I'd never go without one, but data analytics and coding are pretty different in needs

[ashen spindle]

yeah you want dedicated arrow keys thats nice but wont need a numpad for coding

you can rebind stuff for rarely used hotkeys if needed

[modern sky]

You don't really need the numpad tbh the extra keys would be nice for dedicated code editor shortcuts tho

I would say try coding first then decide if you actually need a whole ass keyboard, on that note just an external numpad would do fine

[dry wing]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/small-form-factor-sff-ready/ Seems like the 5090FE is the only SFF 90 series card?

Will probably change but nice to see a list

[rough osprey]

weird that 80 and 90 fe is exact same size

[umbral heron]

Yeah, they confirmed it a while back that 5090 is the only one SFF-Ready
Which is weird, because all 50s FEs are 2-slot, there's no problem with power cable... Even Google cached SFF-Ready on 5080's landing page, but it seems Nvidia removed it

[sharp badger]

Yeah 🤔

[umbral heron]

Maybe it's about cooling? Iunno
Either way there surely will be some 5080 AIBs which will officially work with SFF

[sharp badger]

Maybe but there are 80 series there on the list, even the unannounced ProArt

[unkempt lake]

Fun fact tik tok no longer works in canada despite it not being banned here, they use the IMEI of the device to determine if it's american or not and nice US and Canada have the same IMEI, canadian users are getting fucked lol

I guess they really didn't want people using VPNs

[pale sigil]

I thought it was accounts they used

[reef patrol]

Followup question: Why are apps allowed access to my IMEI in the first place?

[crimson wigeon]

Because apps ask you for permission and you grant it because if you don't it just goes "uh no we need that permission nothing sus is going on :)" until you grant the permission

[fair gull]

on modern android thats not possible iirc

[uncut gale]

Guys aoc 25G3ZM or samsung g4 S25BG400???

[fair gull]

android 9 or 10 split permissions between privileged info (mainly unchanging dtaa like serial number, imei, mac address and such. and then theres the old read perm for things like a generic device fingerprint and such. privileged perms are whitelisted in the OS and cant just have an app added to it unless you root the phone (at which point you can have more issues than an app reading your imei)

IM

speechless

[crimson wigeon]

Nice, so what do they say are the benefits of that?

[umbral heron]

Security

Meanwhile me in LAN only mode

[fair gull]

yeah basically "security" and then you need to basically connect to the internet for "authorization" even if you wanna use lan mode

only SD card doesnt need auth

oh and you need to use their software if its not an SD print

afaik all third party tools cant do the authorization stuff

[umbral heron]

Don't update firmware, use OrcaSlicer still

[crimson wigeon]

Ah yes I want my hardware to be secured... from myself

[umbral heron]

Took people several hours to extract certificate from Bambu Connect
That much securitah

[fair gull]

i mean havent they been kinda not listening for quite some time now

and i also was interested in getting one but oh well

[umbral heron]

My A1 literally came 2 days ago
Meh, it got update to firmware from December I think and it'll never see Internet access again

[reef patrol]

wot?

[cursive summit]

World of Tanks?

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/doctor-who-dalek-gif-20504612

[umbral heron]

A1 is currently unaffected, but essentially they want people to use their software, not 3rd party ones

[reef patrol]

Oh lovely. I'll make sure to make a mental note to not blindly update then 😄

[umbral heron]

Thankfully it needs to be bound to an account to even update, so you can just download app, update firmware to newest one, remove it from account and done

And it just so happens that newest version is both from before that kerfuffle and it's the one where they added option for offline updates from SD

[fair gull]

apparently it forces updates before the print job starts in some cases

idk how that works exactly but thats what some people reported

[reef patrol]

Watching Mr. Rossman's video. Guess I'm keeping the printer in box while we wait for a community response to have an effect 😄

[umbral heron]

Only on X-series
It asks you on P-series to update, on A-series there still isn't update yet

my wooting 60he+ is estimated to come around the 24th-31st of january

[umbral heron]

Ooo, did you get dinosaur ones? Would you like to swap?

[umbral heron]

Pink obviously

[marsh glade]

But I do get why you wouldn't want to bother with the trouble of it

[orchid gate]

if it says its estimated around 24th - 31st of jan do it mean the order is getting packed on the 24th and they gonna deliver it the next day

and then its gon get shipped

[marsh glade]

Delivery is exclusively via ICBMs

[pale sigil]

I'm quite baffled what bambu are doing....

[umbral heron]

If it say estimated 24th -31st that means it'll show at your doors around that date

[orchid gate]

i have a slight chance

of 4 days!

[pale sigil]

Return and get an ender 3 V3 ke

Klipper ftw

[steady sail]

its the same setup but it has a 9800x3d

or atleast i think

[pale sigil]

I am actually quite disappointed I will admit, I wanted a bambu myself so I'm not being a fanboy..... I almost bought one recently too hmmm

[umbral heron]

Meh
Keep it in LAN Only mode and problem solved

[pale sigil]

But bambu were already pretty proprietary

[analog sinew]

mmh

[pale sigil]

They are locking out other slicers and require local loading of gcode.

And you can't control the printer without their software.

[umbral heron]

Not if you keep it on older firmware
Unless they can somehow retroactively modify it without Internet access

[pale sigil]

Right now I'm using Moonraker/fluidd with octoapp and a local VPN when accessing outside.

[pale sigil]

Thats not good enough....

Big breakthroughs are made with 3d printing regularly.

Methods etc

[umbral heron]

Yeah, accessing outside is the key
I honestly don't give a damn about using their services and I certainly don't want to connect printer to the Internet

It's in LAN, on older firmware, with blocked access to Internet
And besides it wouldn't update by itself anyway, it needs to be bound to account to do that

[pale sigil]

Again

Not being able to update sucks because major upgrades exist.

[reef patrol]

Jailbreak is likely if they don't rethink this.

[pale sigil]

Also does bambu offer firmware files so you can selective upgrade? Imagine getting a printer with ancient firmware and it only fetches the latest.

And you can only access the firmware online for the newest.

[umbral heron]

On A1 newest one allows you to load firmware offline via SD
And the latest one is still "safe" one

And honestly, that's the biggest change in the past year there

[pale sigil]

If it's like some other printers stuff won't work.

For example older ender series stuff like the screen etc no longer worked so you had to do everything remotely.

[reef patrol]

Oh no?

[pale sigil]

Another thing to mention about jailbreaking is it's not always simple really.

too little too late for too much money -> useless junk

[sudden imp]

Hope it’s sub 499

[fickle ore]

POORS

its not too bad

[cursive summit]

Considering 5070 is going to be around same raster as 4070, AMD can price higher than that

[gusty kiln]

4070 super

[fickle ore]

Intel eating amd lunch

[gusty kiln]

not really, B580 is higher than msrp outside the US and stock in US is barely there

[cursive summit]

I dunno 600$ is prolly what AMD will sell for

And unironically they can just tweak AFMF2 a little bit to insert more than 1 frame and they suddenly have DLSS4

[gusty kiln]

and all the recent discoveries with B580 has suck the wind out of the hype

it not the amazing value it was initially seen to be

[ashen spindle]

was meh on day one already

from stuff like powerdraw

[unkempt lake]

Hiya

[unkempt lake]

I'm confused as to why nvidia doesn't have a universal frame gen like afmf

Being able to add framegen to unsupported games is cool

[cursive summit]

Cause they haven't gotten around to it yet?

[unkempt lake]

Or games with an fps cap

[cursive summit]

Didn't they say that they are working on a solution that'll work on everything of DLSS?

[ashen spindle]

because they want games to add their software

[cursive summit]

If games build for their software it works better

Though AFMF works just fine

[unkempt lake]

Old games will totally patch it in clearly

[ashen spindle]

they dont care about old games

[unkempt lake]

DLAA

[cursive summit]

Well they don't advertise old games lel

Old games don't sell GPUs

Nvidia sponsored new games do

[unkempt lake]

Also some new games dont even have nvidia framegen

Like forza motorsport

[cursive summit]

Up to the devs to pick what they want to introduce

Framegen input lag in a racing title is risky

DLSS2 has no input lag so, there's that

[unkempt lake]

Capped at 60 in any online mode

I like being able to go over the fps cap

[cursive summit]

Prolly unlockable with dll tweaks

[unkempt lake]

Then you get banned

:D

[cursive summit]

No, you will not get banned

[unkempt lake]

They're doing it for fairness with crossplay

[unkempt lake]

Framerate affects physics ever so slightly in forza, it's why they cap the fps in online modes

Gives an advantage

[cursive summit]

Wtf, Fallout and Skyrim all over again?

[unkempt lake]

They didn't cap it in Horizon 3-4-5 and the previous motorsport and it caused some unbeatable time records to happen

[pearl lotus]

Does wooting only ship if all parts are in stock so they can send it together? or do they also send it apart

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/p6doHF3nP94?si=hUjLkqbFcaRanYjJ

[cursive summit]

Lol yeah it seems there was a test done and people with higher FPS completed races faster lol

Talk about bad design

Seems it's rendered locally and then sent to a server, instead of the server sending you data and then the PC playing catch up, at least that's how I interpret that

(still funny how higher FPS caps break older games)

[unkempt lake]

Yep

XD

So now you get why i use AFMF when im forced to play online at 60fps

linux wasnt the only weakness of their not so great anti cheat

[unkempt lake]

This is way worst than any of those "hacks" people could do on linux

[ashen spindle]

so?

[unkempt lake]

This is literally account hijacking mid game

[ashen spindle]

yeah but hows this related to linux

[gusty kiln]

glad I stopped playing apex months ago, shit it clearly dying

[unkempt lake]

Because they were behaving like removing linux players was this one big great fix

And apex players were all like it's gonna fix everything

Which is laughable

I don't even play apex i just find this shit hilarious

[ashen spindle]

this is a handful of players that will get issues vs a lot of people having super easy acces to cheat

not great for the game, bad look etc. but for the average player this isnt of concernt as constant cheaters who like 80% used linux

banning linux didnt fix their anti cheat but drastically lowered how many people would cheat

[reef patrol]

That's just embarrassing. The one thing you'd expect a RACING game to get right is the timing.

[unkempt lake]

Yep

Time trial leaderboards be broken

[reef patrol]

It must be an absolute nightmare to try and admin any speedruns related to this.

[vagrant pagoda]

Wait did the titanfall exploit stay in the game?

[reef patrol]

[unkempt lake]

The RCE was patched

Well

The original RCE exploit

No clue what this one is

[pale sigil]

That was quick

[analog sinew]

guess which pc step i couldnt get fixed today

windows activation

[sudden imp]

It was bound to happen they didn't have much time to sell anyways

I assume they are going to definitly sell like they were required

[marsh pewter]

they definitely are not lol

trump is going to save them

[latent mural]

Again time to see people stick to a app which lowers the attention spam and just seems to throw trash at your eyes

[marsh pewter]

I mean read the message, it literally says that because of trump they are back

tiktok was banned for 14hrs

[unkempt lake]

just buy a 10$ key

problem fixed

[marsh pewter]

just pirate it

just kidding that would be illegal and a crime and crimes are bad

👍

[wheat plume]

Wasn't trump the one who wanted to ban it?

[umbral heron]

It was
But he is a spineless twat and money talks

[marsh pewter]

yes, he directly started this whole ban in the first place

now tiktok is kissing his ass

[wheat plume]

Then why he trying to get it back?

[marsh pewter]

money and publicity

if he unbans tiktok theres higher chances of kids liking him

because "he saved tiktok"

[umbral heron]

Especially when TikTok will put it in the pop-up

[latent mural]

I wanna see the decisions taken for the MENA Region

[marsh pewter]

its all just a huge PR stunt

[latent mural]

Yes this sounds like very weird

I mean
'HEY NOW WE SEE WITH U.S'
'HEY TRUMP ALLOWED US TO EXIST HERE'

From the Popups they shove it right into their faceit

Saw this on my phone, when i looked for a minute on youtube

How blatant can they be?

[analog sinew]

my key was transerrable so this shouldnt be the case. ill get it sorted

[analog sinew]

its crazy right? namedropping politicians

[unkempt lake]

Then normally its just bound to your ms acxount

[latent mural]

Sarcasm?

[analog sinew]

he isnt even inaugurated yet

[analog sinew]

yep but it doesnt activate. ill write them. i double and triple checked it

[analog sinew]

no? its plain crazy that an app is namedtopping politicians

[unkempt lake]

Did you go delete your previous pc under "my devices"

[analog sinew]

yes

[latent mural]

Ahh, okay, i thought it was sarcasm, my bad.
Yes I agree, this is just blatant attempt to manipulate people.

[analog sinew]

idk what ms is smoking. wouldnt be surprised if their server blew up again

ill talk with support

[latent mural]

@analog sinew wait you speak german natively ye?

[analog sinew]

yes

[latent mural]

Is it so far right? I am creating papers

German is not my native language

[fair gull]

"is it so far right" what

[analog sinew]

it sounds fine

[latent mural]

👍

Because sometimes my wording was poor

[halcyon moss]

They are a far right person dealing with rust I assume

[fair gull]

makes sense

[latent mural]

It is right so far?
Or more like
"Is it correct, so far? "

[fair gull]

oh

[zenith orbit]

how about those 1s n 0s huh

[silent oracle]

Anybody got webcam recommendation

[cedar fog]

they basically stated the only reason they used a transformer model is because the increase in tensor cores allows them to fit it within their budget

that's probably why they were showing games with a toggle between CNN and Transformer model

[wanton cloak]

White keyboard case and black caps or black case and white caps ?

[cedar fog]

Probably safe to assume even though all the RTX cards are getting the newer transformer model it's gonna suck even more ass for the latency hit

[distant tapir]

I recommend 720p or lower webcams over 4k ones to hide imperfections in your skin

Hi please I need help for choosing my keyboard.
In term of performance the 3 keyboards are the same? You mentionned the 60he+ for professional but not the two he . Thanks

[lyric hatch]

the tech is pretty much the same between the 60HE and the Two HE but the Two HE has more keys to scan which slows down the response speed

the difference is pretty negligible though not something you would notice in person

[ashen spindle]

not really

[rich canyon]

There is the counter straff thing with the two he?

[lyric hatch]

yep

[rich canyon]

Thanks a lot

[ashen spindle]

idk what you are talking about, people used higher hz scrrens and it was obvious, people used 8khz devices for a while now and for keyboards it is extremely similar to 1khz

this isnt a new untested thing that people might be wrong about

yes and I'm saying acting like 1vs8khz is the same is just wrong

transformers are extremely parallel, cnns are less so mayb but mayb not

that never existed btw

the majority had no idea, out of the minority who knew anything, the folks in industry (military or remote control displays) knew you needed more, and the folks in cinema wanted to keep their minimum tolerable as long as possible so they wouldnt have to spend so much on film prior to digital, and after digital they want to keep it low so that they dont have to change techniques

Aah, good old zip bombs

[umbral heron]

This is getting interesting https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenBambu/comments/1i5kp0t/we_will_be_getting_an_update/

I still have 11 days to return, we shall see

[reef patrol]

I have 14+however long it takes to deliver. I already sent Bambu a strongly worded email

Seems like as perfectly acceptable middle road. Completely removing yourself from their ecosystem.

They can't wiggle themselves out of warranty here in the EU anyhow.

[umbral heron]

I mean I don't really care about their ecosystem, I just want to print via LAN, use 3rd party slicers and get firmware updates
If that means I won't get access to their cloud service or MakerWorld then I'm absolutely fine with it

[reef patrol]

You won't get firmware updates most likely.

At least not from Bambu - but I bet community ones will happen.

[umbral heron]

Yeah, firmware updates are the biggest problem
If not for that I wouldn't even care about the whole issue

Why this shit had to happen the very next day when I got it and I was so happy with it?

[reef patrol]

Or literally one day after mine ships 😄

[modern sky]

[wild coyote]

Opinions please? https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/list/37Q98Q

[umbral heron]

Looks good, 850W will have a lot of headroom for this build, but you can swap cooler to cheaper aluminium block instead of AIO

[wild coyote]

Ehh, I do want arctic AIO as they are pretty good

besides that, they'll cool pretty nicely with the pc case

[vapid ruin]

yeah, seems nice, can't see any fault.

Opens up a nice path to the next x3d chip

[umbral heron]

Sure, if you want AIO go for it

[halcyon moss]

7700x doesnt need one right?

[wild coyote]

Because I'm basically gonna be selling my current PC and get a new build up

[halcyon moss]

and aio is a complicated air cooler

[umbral heron]

Nah, any Ryzen can do with air cooler just fine

[wild coyote]

I've had AIO's before

not that complicated

[wild coyote]

It's only cuz my room gets easily dusty, so I wanna keep the dust at a minimum

Towards the fans mainly

[umbral heron]

Positive air pressure in the case and no dust filters on air outlets and you'll barely have any dust in PC

[wild coyote]

It's crazy how my room is the only room in this apartment that gets the most amount of dust 😭

[umbral heron]

It's more of a how AIO is not necessary on Ryzens, but if you want one go for it
On high-end Intels water cooling is pretty much a requirement, air cooler won't do

[wild coyote]

I know, just want the very quiet experience

Love you all for the opinions, thanks <3

[ashen spindle]

Keep in mind AiO pumps are often louder than fans that are barely spinning

[proven turret]

I’m on a 1050ti rn so

Upgrade is needed,

Im spending around 4k on it

Hyte 70 touch case, 32 gig of ddr4 ram

Ryzen 7 9800

I think

I just took advice from a mate who’s building it for me

[umbral heron]

For 9800 you'll need DDR5 RAM
And don't take X870 board, B650 is more than enough and you can put money in other components

[proven turret]

DDR 5* I’m useless with components ngl lol

[umbral heron]

X870E

[proven turret]

I’m just paying 😭

[umbral heron]

Overpaid much for that one

[proven turret]

Oh well 🤷

Already paid lol

So can someone explain how this dlss shit works with to 5090, is it gonna be Dogshit for games that don’t support it

[umbral heron]

https://blog.bambulab.com/updates-and-third-party-integration-with-bambu-connect/

[vapid ruin]

using math and a lot of data, it generate frame between 'real' frame giving it the feel of smoothness. Game that don't support dlss either too old or too easy to run for the dev to add.

Worse, dev just lazy

best tldr I can think of

[umbral heron]

That's framegen though, not DLSS

[vapid ruin]

there's dlss 1, 2, 3, and 4

I just assume dlss 4 since he says 5090

[umbral heron]

DLSS is whole suite of tools
One you're talking about is Frame Generation

[proven turret]

So it won’t be better than the 4090 without dlss?

[vapid ruin]

it'll still be better, has more vram and new arch.

[proven turret]

Ohh ok

[umbral heron]

plop

[proven turret]

Ty 🙏

[umbral heron]

Alright, so LAN Only Mode in developer mode stays the same even on newer firmware, Bambu Connect integration is only needed for if you want to use cloud

https://tenor.com/view/that's-good-enough-for-me-pop-son-of-a-critch-i'm-satisfied-with-that-malcolm-mcdowell-gif-10328331680447599291

Hmm he does pull up Dougall’s reverse engineering site where he talks about the extension to enable extra flags which is where I had the info from too

My geon order still hasnt shipped

i must say, them having 10 bucks dhl express is nuts

[vagrant pagoda]

Lol for now

Wait 6mo and they will do it again

It's 100% for forcing cloud subs

It's internet startup 101

Make cool shit everyone wants spending VC to pay for servers

Then scramble to pay for those servers

[umbral heron]

I mean Bambu is private Chinese company, so no VC
But, like, let people use their printers completely out of their ecosystem, no server cost then

And it's still not clear if Bambu Connect is required or if you can print straight from slicer in "developer mode"

security so much

now you can just sign your own firmware

[reef patrol]

If I had to guess someone in the higher echelons of reviewers couldn't get good bench results, and had to beg nVidia to postpone with new drivers.

[reef patrol]

Bambu also basically backtracked the whole thing and will offer a permanent LAN mode without "support", while also blaming everyone but themselves for all of the "misinformation"

[fair gull]

synthetic benches 27% up. der8auer also shows some slides comparing this to other gen jumps

nvm it isnt firmware keys its worse. its keys to the cloud stuff

So much for a closed ecosystem with lots of necessary security.

[fair gull]

"security"

[wheat plume]

🤔 Why is there a different AppImage just for Ubuntu? AppImage is meant to work the same on any distro

just saw a youtuber say that shorter key travel on their keyboard is better because they type faster and their fingers dont hurt as much as using a keyboard with longer travel

[halcyon moss]

might work that way for that youtuber

[reef patrol]

Dat price... xD

[ashen spindle]

pointless, as we saw with nvidia just last week, we had prices that were like almost 2x the actual ones as placeholder

[digital cliff]

it says in the title that the price is placeholder

[reef patrol]

Yeah the prices are not real. But it just reminded me of how expensive my 3080 was.

The MSRP was just so unrealistic with the shortage. I remember my cancelled preorders going up by 200€ or more

[cedar fog]

damn the delay sucks tho

if true

[nimble arch]

MSI's 2025 refresh of their 32" QD-OLED releases in the UK next month, apparently. That might just tempt me given they've fixed the HDR 1000 accuracy issues unlike other vendors.

[jaunty rose]

Theoretically.. if I were to get a 5080.. will my ryzen 7 5800x3D hold it back?

[fair gull]

we dont know yet

benches arent out

[jaunty rose]

Is it just the 5090 that’ll be public at the end of the month?

[fair gull]

no

5080 is also jan 30

[jaunty rose]

Alright

👍

[fair gull]

not like you have good chances to get one on release if any past releases were any indication

[digital cliff]

parts holding each other back is not a thing anyway, it depends on what games you play at what resolution and so on

[thick ermine]

5090 testing embargo drops 24th. 5080 testing embargo drops on release day for both cards (30th). Kinda suspicious that you basically will have to buy a 5080 before you can see any testing reviews in order to beat the scalpers.

[fair gull]

well you coudl go from gpu bound to cpu bound in some scenarios

not like its tons of fps though

prob single digit fps at best

[thick ermine]

Def. 4K will almost always be GPU bound with decent cpu.

[digital cliff]

you play an MMO the GPU is already been on vacation for years so upgrading it will literally do nothing for you, but for graphically demanding AAA games from the last year or two you'll gain performance

so answer is both yes and no but the answer is also yes and no no matter what parts you present and/or upgrade to

[jaunty rose]

Not planning to on release, best option would be to wait for actual benchmarks. It also really depends on how good DLSS 4 is gonna be to make my decision since I’m rocking a 3070

[thick ermine]

I’m just going for 5090 for the vram. My 4080S has def limited me with 16gb

[fair gull]

given that 3080 to 4080 was like 100% increase or smth in perf id imagine you benefit anyway

or was it 3080ti to 3090

too long ago

but it was massive gains

[jaunty rose]

I love modern games but some of these titles have been rough on my 3070 like Indiana Jones and Silent Hill 2

[thick ermine]

People gotta realize even though 5080 isn’t necessarily a useful upgrade over 4080, it’s a better price to performance proposition for those who haven’t upgraded in years or are building a new pc. Same cost as a 4080S with better power 🤷🏻‍♂️

[jaunty rose]

I dont have a 4080 so I’d be better off getting a 5080. If I wanted to get something for a better price then I’d gave to start looking in the used market

Not really interested in AMD
Waiting for there new series to drop to see how they do with raytracing

[thick ermine]

I’ll be selling my 4080S locally for a decent price. Already got a few potential pickers in the local gaming facebook group

You’ll def see some good prices on used gear

[jaunty rose]

Oh for sure

I was thinking about selling my gpu but I honestly dont want to since it was my first

I want to put it on display somewhere in my room whenever I upgrade

[wheat plume]

why does Windows scale to 150% by default on a clean install?

[umbral heron]

It sets it depending on resolution your monitor has

[wheat plume]

1080P

[reef patrol]

It sets it depending on the monitor data. If it's big enough physically, it will set it to 150% or higher.

So plug in a 60" 4K TV and you should expect it to upscale even at 1080P

[umbral heron]

Sets 150% on 1080p 15,6" laptops too

[ashen spindle]

its also insider preview so it could always be something broken

never understand why you'd willingly install insider preview

[reef patrol]

Wouldn't be the first time an LCD reports weirdly 😄

[wheat plume]

this happened on the stable build too, maybe cause my laptop has a 13 inch screen and they figure 100% might be too small?

[ashen spindle]

or you could read the the sentence mansen wrote above yours

[wheat plume]

i did

[ashen spindle]

then you have the most likely answer

[reef patrol]

At any rate a non issue. You can change it to 100% in a few clicks 🙂

[wheat plume]

yeh, its just curious to me

guess they go from screen size and DPI for determining the default scale

My tablet just got HyperOS 2 :D nearly 6gb update 😅

[reef patrol]

The LCD sends actual data over the cable you know.

[wheat plume]

IDK how to explain it, but MacOS seems to always have more display space than Windows,the apps feel like they take more space on the screen than the same app on MacOS

[digital cliff]

need to enable all the betas and change all the settings

[wheat plume]

its not my main laptop so why not?

I keep Windows on this laptop so I can update shit that doesnt have a way to update it on Linux

[digital cliff]

which ones are those?

[fair gull]

macos apps are often design around the whole global menu thing

[astral haven]

16:10 vs 16:9 likely

[fair gull]

also that

[ashen spindle]

why would you want to waste your time to beta test windows for microsoft when you wont know half the things changed and dont even use windows as a main os and dont even know how most of the stable os even works

[wheat plume]

my controller firmware updater
updating the Windows version on my Windows install USB Drive

[ashen spindle]

especially if you say its only to update stuff, why bother going on anything but stable versions

[fair gull]

inb4 wine could just run those

[digital cliff]

well I mean answer is it's fun to lana

[wheat plume]

^

[wheat plume]

the controller updater wont work in Wine ;-; it fails to apply the update

dont want to risk bricking the controller

[digital cliff]

I hate updates, I never want to see them, and I make fun of lana for always being on bleeding edge everything, but yeah we don't all have to like the same things

[ashen spindle]

if its fun to wonder why stuff doesnt work when you only want to use it to update.. sure I guess

[wheat plume]

huh?

[astral haven]

the benefit of insider preview is you get access to new apis to develop for prior to release, and get to give microsoft feedback
since you arent doing either, quin is speculating as to what other benefits you could be getting

[wheat plume]

I like to see the new features and whatnot

[fair gull]

potential new features

not like they are guaranteed to come

[wheat plume]

also, I said that the updater isnt working in WINE, it works fine on Windows

[ashen spindle]

the latest insider build has something like widgets added for devs, or windows backup features that you wont need
but also known issues for settings page crashing or explorer not rendering correctly, so I just wonder why thats a choice when the use is to update shit that doesnt update on linux

since I assume you'd not want the updates to break or have issues

[lyric hatch]

do it

I am still waiting on the Lamzu Tachi

[sudden imp]

what would you recommend

I don’t want to install anymore shitty software

[lyric hatch]

well my go to brands for mice are End Game Gear, Lamzu and Pulsar

[balmy vector]

ill miss my little wlmouse fabulous beast

i want every mouse brand to do a collab like that

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/91kfolYkRNM

[sudden imp]

Which endgame gear mouse is good for palm grip

Looking for something with 4k polling that’s palm grip

[lyric hatch]

depends how large your hands are but they don't really have a palm grip shape mouse tbh

[sudden imp]

Rip

Lamzu have any?

I do like pulsar and lamzus looks

And if either sell decent mousepads I’m down to pick one of them

I don’t have the time to deal with artisan customs

[lyric hatch]

Lamzu thorn potentially, I think Pulsars Xlite v3 is a better option for palm though

[sudden imp]

Hm

Any symmetrical shaped palm?

Like would the maya x work for my grip type?

[lyric hatch]

depends how big your hand is

if you have smaller hands it would be

[sudden imp]

I’ll measure it and let you know

[lyric hatch]

if you have larger hands maybe something like the Vaxee XE if you want a large symmetrical palm grip mouse

[sudden imp]

9~cm wide ~16cm long

[lyric hatch]

oh yeah Maya X will be fine

[sudden imp]

I’m not a very larger person

[lyric hatch]

you'll be fine, gives you lots more options in terms of mice you can palm grip

[jaunty rose]

Ok so why is discord forcing me to lower the sample rate of my microphone for it to work? I don't understand

Hiya

Dm me

[trim crane]

Not Configured to Enable, apply and done?

[latent mural]

I is in look for a good microphone because my current one is dead.
Should not be too expensive, just enough for basic communication for teamspeak mostly and cursing people in foreign languages on cs2

Any recommendations?

Last time I got a microphone was 2016 from tbone

[pale sigil]

sheesh thats far away

[unkempt lake]

yep

Amd wtf are you doing lmao

[magic minnow]

To pick at the bones of whatever nvidia leaves

[unkempt lake]

no competition is bad for everyone tho

Including nvidia buyers

[magic minnow]

Well AMD gets to experience it on the cpu side we’re all about to lose

[cursive summit]

You know it's so funny that whoever is responsible for actually selling AMD tech is the weakest link

Tech stuff? Great. Software stuff? Recently pretty great

Marketing and sales? Absolutely dismal abysmal

Whoever that is they really should axe them fast

Haha people are reminiscing of Raja days of incompetence

I guess other than them being a lot more competitive now, spirit of mr. Koduri still perseveres

[unkempt lake]

Just sack the whole marketing team

They're so damn incompetent

I mean it's not just the gpu division

Zen5 was a meme

[cursive summit]

I'll just break into a logistics warehouse somewhere locally and cop one early

They are sitting in warehouses and nobody can buy them

[astral haven]

zen 5 also was zen 5% tho, that wasnt marketings or sales fault

[cursive summit]

Absolute incompetence on Intel Arc Alchemist levels of proportions

[unkempt lake]

Yes but the marketting tried to claim it was way better than it was

[cursive summit]

AMD must be waiting for the 5070 to launch or something, those are in February right?

Nvidia is launching what, 80 and 90 soon?

[astral haven]

never lied tho

cherry picking games to only show the ones thag got big boosts is how it always works, not sure you could hire anyone who wouldnt do that

[lyric hatch]

Make good products at good prices and people will buy them

[fickle ore]

why?

lol isnt amd doin pretty well

[sudden imp]

huh

that makes no sense

[lyric hatch]

It's easy to look good next to intel right now

[sudden imp]

Is the product not complete?

or are they trying to squeeze more performance and polish through firmware and drivers?

[lyric hatch]

Shops had stock already from the leaks I imagine it's drivers that aren't ready in classic AMD fashion

But also I'm not sure they are trying to compete with the Nvidia cards coming out in Jan/Feb

[ashen spindle]

we have no clue why its delayed so until its launched we cant really judge if it was a deserved delay or not

[unkempt lake]

Better to have stable launch drivers than the typical meh launch drivers amd puts out

Every single gen it's always the same, new cards releases, cards are overpriced drivers are bad for the first 3 months, then they fix the drivers and drop the price

[lyric hatch]

Well as long as they don't have another RDNA 1 or Vega they should be alright

[unkempt lake]

Rdna2 and 3 launch drivers weren't great

[lyric hatch]

Fine wine as they say

[unkempt lake]

I got my 7900xtx 6 months after launch so i didn't have to experience that xd

But if you looked at reddit the first few months it was just angy people

[lyric hatch]

I had a 5700 XT near launch after the good reviews

[analog sinew]

i have a tech question, a weird one

[balmy vector]

is it edible?

[analog sinew]

so i have some 140mm noctua gen2 fans but for some reason they seem to only reach half speed

[unkempt lake]

Did you use the low noise adapter

[analog sinew]

even when i set it to full in bios they report ~800rpm

rated to 1500

[analog sinew]

no

even then they should reach 1200

the strange part is the cpu fans do reach 1500, they are gen1 140mms

its just strange.

happens in dc mode too

ig i should try it from within windows too

[ashen spindle]

rdna2 didnt have any issue on launch it was mostly 1 and 3 due to different things

[analog sinew]

oh god i figured it out

i bought the ls version for some godforsaken reason or got sent them. well that explains it at least

[magic minnow]

What ls

[analog sinew]

low speed

god damn shop interface must have gotten me confused

NF-A14x25G2LSPWM

okay so what now

do i return them or not

[magic minnow]

Did you get them for cheaper?

If not I would personally

[analog sinew]

no not really

fuck man this is annoying

[unkempt lake]

Don't return them

[magic minnow]

But then how do they get the ones they wanted

[unkempt lake]

They still push plenty of airflow at 800rpm

You don't need them to run faster... especially when it comes to case fans

I run my noctua case fans at that rpm actually

And it's plenty and quiet

We talking case fans... just keep them

[analog sinew]

but if i want 800rpm i can just run the regulars at 800rpm

[unkempt lake]

Then why would you bother buying the faster ones in the first place

Just keep the ones you have and run 800rpm they'll be nice and quiet

Also this is such a waste of time to get the other ones

We're talking CASE fans

[magic minnow]

What do you run your cpu fan at?

[unkempt lake]

Me?

[magic minnow]

Or just auto?

[unkempt lake]

It's just a flat line at 1100 rpm lol

[analog sinew]

the point is having the option

these are just neutered for no reason

[magic minnow]

Are they the same price?

[analog sinew]

yea

[unkempt lake]

Literally won't even affect your temps

Like... margin of error

Your case already has good airflow and the fans you got are plenty

Not worth wasting your time returning them all waiting to get the other ones back redoing your cable management for some extra rpm that won't even matter

But hey if you wanna waste your time be my guest

XD

[analog sinew]

i wanted to remount 3 of the 4 anyway with different rubber mounts

and i dont mind pc tinkerinh

[unkempt lake]

Do you care about noise or not

Lmao

[analog sinew]

somewhat?

[unkempt lake]

decide already

[analog sinew]

you know me

i cant decide for shit but i dont want them you sre trying to convince me to keep

[magic minnow]

I’d return them it wasn’t what I wanted originally

[analog sinew]

yea

i dont see any point to them

if they had lower min rpm or slme shit or were slimmer/cheaper whatever

but it looks like they just are slower for god knows what reason

on a dc fan that would make sense but what do i have pwm for

[unkempt lake]

tak be like

Puts off building the pc early because he doesn't want to waste time rebuilding

[sudden imp]

why build pc when game in mind

[unkempt lake]

Then wants to return fans that work and do what he needs because reasons

And waste time

[analog sinew]

i considered it but i didnt do it

[unkempt lake]

I don't understand you tak lol

[analog sinew]

maybw humans are not always logical beings

[pale sigil]

hmm, i wonder if this would be alright as a NAS/Server if i upgrade the RAM

[lyric hatch]

yeah it's a great cheap server option

[pale sigil]

Ye, power draw seems to be OK too... Plex/Storage/HA/immich

[lyric hatch]

quicksync is very nice for power saving

[reef patrol]

Can you even have more than one drive in those.

[pale sigil]

2x2.5 and 1xm2

[reef patrol]

Not even a 3.5?

[pale sigil]

1x 3.5

[reef patrol]

[pale sigil]

its sff

[reef patrol]

It's a poor NAS, that's what it is 😄

[pale sigil]

dont fancy paying 400+ for an overpriced nas

😄

[reef patrol]

Is it better to pay 130 for a PC that couldn't be considered a NAS at all? 😛

[pale sigil]

considering my last one was 4tb

ye

[reef patrol]

If you can't even do a simple mirror, it's not a NAS, it's a ticking timebomb.

[pale sigil]

Simple mirror?

Are you saying not being plug and play makes it suck as a nas?

[reef patrol]

I'm saying you have a single 3.5" slot. You ain't gonna do a RAID1 with one drive.

[pale sigil]

2x2.5

[reef patrol]

We both know you're not buying two, large SSD 2.5" drives. And 2.5" mechanical drives are utter shit.

[pale sigil]

how do we know that

[reef patrol]

[pale sigil]

because that was the idea...

i dont particially wanna rely on my old drives that are 7 years old

HP EliteDesk 705 G3 MicroTower

Has 2.5"

nvm its a whole tower lol

[deft raptor]

So, I heard AMD has delayed the launch from Jan to Mar month. Totally not pissing off many retailers with unsellable inventories for few months.

[mild dome]

AMDs got to figure out what price Nvidia is going to sell at so it can sell at that price minus $50

[sudden imp]

A February release would be enough for that.

Probably drivers play a factor

[lyric hatch]

I don't see many good reasons as to why it would be delayed so long after retailers already have units

[wild coyote]

How to kill someone's tech brain

I'm gonna be using a Fujitsu Futro S920, 2 core CPU as my server for storage and other things locally

[halcyon moss]

Interesting choice

[wild coyote]

I know

Gonna attempt to shove in 8TB of HDD storage

Make it my personal, local NAS

[halcyon moss]

Is it a thin client?

[wild coyote]

yep

Fujitsu Futro S920 ThinClient with GX-222GC

Low power, but pretty much a good enough mini serv

[wild coyote]

You're shitting on Debian?

It's a W distro

[umbral heron]

ew debian

I had nothing but problems with ubuntu, I'll never touch it again
Removing libraries which are in widespread use from repos just because, freaking mesa has to be installed from 3rd party repo, and good luck with getting anything recent there

[digital cliff]

yeah that baffles me about mesa

[umbral heron]

Because people see LTS being referred to as "stable", and that's what they're going with
Despite the fact that "stable" doesn't really mean to them as to people who know more about tech
Heck, even Windows is now on semi-rolling release, just like Fedora
LTS should be used only in servers, never on personal PCs, otherwise you get outdated packages and libraries and everything breaks

[umbral heron]

Debian immutable would be nice
Of course Debian apologists would instantly flock with "Debian is around for so long, it's so stable that it doesn't need immutable version"

[halcyon moss]

thats not what immutable means i think

[cerulean jungle]

guys gateron vs cherry mx vs akko vs outemu vs razer (RED SWITCHES) please help i need to get the best

[umbral heron]

We don't know much about mechanical switches
Maybe folks over at #🔧│keyboard_modding

[cerulean jungle]

Thx

[wild coyote]

I use debian 12 as it's been an easy ride and I haven't actually gotten any problems with it

I mean, I only use it as a server

not as a daily OS for myself

So, TeamSpeak is making their comeback tomorrow eh

Other than the far better chat quality though, is there really any need for TS to exist over Discord lel

I still see TS as the go to for tournaments, but for the normal people? TS is just yet another client you don't need, Discord integrates social media and communications in one package

But maybe I just hate having too many apps on my PC cause if it does one thing something else on my PC already does, I don't need it

[steady sail]

I use both of them but inly bc my friends hate discord xdd
